WORKING FROM wILLMAR.
The engineer corps of the Willmal
and Sioux Falls division of the Denver
and Duluth road has been in the FIELD
all winter and hos been locating . per-
manent line. Relative to this survey
the Pipestone (Minn) Republican of the
18th says:
On Tuesday last Ole B. Johnson oil
Aetna township, Was in this village,
and stated that a surveying party oil
the Willmar and Sioux Falls railroad
had reached his place. and had been
making their headquarters with him
for several days. He also stated that
| they found q satisfactory line down to
the borders of this county, and were
nearly following the old survey on this
way. With any sort of favorable wea tn.
| or the party will no doubt reach Pipe
stone by Saturday of this week. From
| Aetna on the southwest through this
county there are no difficulties in che
way, aud the work will be rapid. When,
however, the surveyors get over near
the Palisades they will again strike
rough country, and will experience some
of the same difficulties they have passed
through in Lyons county, vest OF
Marshall.
. Commenting upon the foregoing the
Sioux Falls Press remarks:
1t ia safe to say that in the next three
or four weeks the survey will be com
pleted to Sioux Falls, and then. comes
the question of what aid Is to be asked
Of this and other counties along the line.
